True weird story: In 3rd grade, the music teacher took some sort of shine to (a) this song and (b) one of the students, which culminated in a school assembly in which said student, dressed as King Tut, was wheeled by the music teacher into the gym on an Egypt-decorated ... thing of some sort (the rack we stored folding chairs on w/ some cardboard to make it look like a boat?) with this song playing. The guy then conducted a mock interview about Tut with the lad. Also, a bunch of K-5th graders were implicitly introduced to the word "honky."

Lovely show, but now I''m craving a nice salad of field greens and yellow daisies, for some reason...

last time I saw them had to be 20 years ago, on some tour supporting a crap Green Day-of-the-week band, sponsored by a local radio station that would never in a 100 years play New Bomb Turks - along with Rev. Horton Heat, Lunachicks, a few more bands. It was really apparent that many of the bands hated one another.

Nice! Hey, maybe you know already but that Plimsouls track earlier in the set is an Easybeats cover. Or maybe a cover of a song that the Easybeats covered. Stop playing good records so I can leave the house, please.

And yeah, I should stop thinking about revisiting Elvis's eighties output and just do it already.

I can only imagine it has that nadir, that dark 9th-circle of 70s-special hell, the Star Wars Holiday Special.

I remember that compilation album that had the Andrews Sisters on it. They'd advertise it during syndicated sitcom reruns, and the VO guy shouted "It's V-E Day!" like a seven year old kid in the 80s knew what the hell that was...

my favorite variety clips are the European TV ones because they are an extra level of WHAAAAAAAT

i actually got to play one of these early Moog semi-modulars at my old job... it was the most beautiful looking thing, best part was it didn't have LEDs but big red LAMPS all over it blinking away

Due to reasons beyond my control, I am currently unable to listen to the stream. I see talk about the Monkees and now the theme from their TV show is playing in my head.

there's a great photo of him playing the synth with his cat

Ah, I just remembered what Troy McClure says. It's "SPINOFF! Is there any word more soothing to the human soul?"
